We are a UK based ‘virtual folk club’ producing podcasts in two formats: - Conversation and live music with selected guest musicians. The music is mainly acoustic in the folk or singer/songwriter genre. Occasionally we go 'off-piste' with guests who are poets, politicians, writers, storytellers etc where there may be no music at all. - Radio shows, mainly music with some commentary. Each episode is a re-run the most recent Invisible Folk Club radio show syndicated weekly to six community stations across the UK & Europe. The grass roots music featured can be traditional or original, across the spectrum of folk, country, blues and Americana.

Songwriters Circle - Session 1
Invisible Folk Club are getting back to 'face to face' podcast sessions. It's just like the old days, sitting around chatting, drinking tea and playing songs. During the pandemic Jon Bickley convened an online Song Writing Circle with Alan Garmonsway, Stewart Murdoch & Dave Artus. The idea was to come up with a different songwriting topic each month. It was a very productive and therapeutic process. With some sort of normality returning it seemed like a good opportunity to air the cream of the material created by these four veteran troubadours. A 'Best of...' compilation. The first 58 minutes are available free on our Podcast Channel with the remaining 32 minutes available exclusively to our Patreon subscribers. There's some great music and conversation. https://www.patreon.com/invisiblefolkclub

Grace will lead me home - Sally-Anne Huxtable
Sally-Anne has published extensively on the History of Art and at the time of interview was the Head Curator for the National Tuest. In this capacity she co-edited a report tracing where slave trade compensation money went and which of the estates, now managed by the trust, benefited. We also discussed the way in which the heritage industry tells the stories of the past and how that informs our view of the present. “Only by honestly and openly acknowledging and sharing those stories can we do justice to the true complexity of past, present and future, and the sometimes-uncomfortable role that Britain, and Britons, have played in global history since the sixteenth century or even earlier.” In a time when opinions are presented as facts, properly researched and evidenced historical facts are all the more important. We bring them to you, here.

Erica Roffe at the Invisible Folk Club
Erica Roffe is co-founder and Managing Editor of the Bedford Independent, a dynamic, informed and informative local news website. The demise of print media and buying-up of local titles by syndicates has resulted in a collapse of local news services in Bedford. Coupled with the decline of its distinctive High Street the town is in danger of losing sight of its essential character. For many years Erica's dynamic energy brought pop-up events to Bedford High Street utilising slack space. In 2018 she co-founded the Bedford Independent; like the town it represents it is democratic, independent and inclusive. It's like a digital village square.

Grace Will Lead Me Home - Jon Bickley's project diary2
In March 2023 Jon Bickley met up with Angeline Morrison and Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne. They stayed togther in Dartmouth House in Olney, once owned by the Earl of Dartmouth, the man who gave John Newton his first clerical position, that of Curate in Charge at St.Peter and St.Paul's church (Olney). Together Angeline, Cohen and Jon researched Newton's life, the history and meaning of Amazing Grace and the transatlantic slave trade, with tremendous support and guidance from the Cowper & Newton Museum. We talked, sang and performed for the camera. Here is Jon's personal diary of that time.

Mandela Memories
On April 7th 2000 Nelson Mandela came to Bedford to rededicate the bust of his friend and mentor Trevor Huddleston who was born in Bedford in 1913. The visit lasted less than an hour but it made a lasting impression on everyone who was there. Invisible Folk tracked down some of those people and asked them for their memories, we collected them together to create this podcast. As well as talking to people who were on the streets of Bedford that day we also hear the story of how the visit actually came about. During research we located a YouTube film with 10 minutes of television hightlights sourced from both ITV (Anglia) and BBC (East of England). Can you spot your younger self? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKHG4F0rBfI

Grace will lead me home - Pauline Stepney
Jon Bickley talks to community leader Pauline Stepney for an ongoing podcast series marking the 250th anniversary of the writing of Amazing Grace. Its author John Newton was a slave trader and later an abolitionist. We all know that Amazing Grace is universally loved but how do we view the slave trade today? We asked three people of Caribbean descent how it impacts on their lives even now. Pauline is an inspirational leader within the Caribbean community in Bedford. As the child of immigrants Pea has witnessed the evolution of community relations over many years. As a trustee of the Legacy of Windrush Descendants (LOWD) charity she is working to deliver educational, cultural, social, advocacy, commemorative and health events as a contribution to the diverse wealth of Bedford. This is done with a grace and humour that spreads a little love to everyone around.
